Prayer Circles

I need strength for my marriage. I have gained a few pounds and my husband no longer finds me attractive.

Pray for me please not to become depressed. I am 5'4" and 180 pounds I have recently gained this weight after quitting smoking. My husband no longer finds me attractive and has told me so. I don't have a lot of self worth right now and I'm scared.

Dear Kim,
I am 5ft 6in ,35 yrs(6/28)200lbs and my husband of 16 yrs has told that he has warned me for all of these yrs and that is enough! Our son is 17 yrs old and will be going to college this coming summer, and I am Better than Blessed to see that coming !!!!! I have learned that God has children that Are the Head and not the tail!!!!! as so many sinners think (my husband). So I pray for you And I and ALL other wives And girlfreinds that have this feeling that God will remind us of who we are in him no matter What! God is the Only man that I can Truly Depend NEVER to fail me!!! So Look up And Live with a Smile!!

Dearest and Most Heavenly, Wonderful God, I offer this prayer for Kim and understand how she feels. I praise her giving up a terrible habit and ask that you bless her with strength and may she find comfort in your love for her. I also pray that you help her husband recognize what a difficult thing she has accomplished and love and help her rather than turn away from her. I asked this in the name of our Lord and Savior, your Son, Jesus Christ.

Kim,
I understand your pain all too well. Be strong and know that your heart is what is important. Not your physical appearance. Find value in your other strengths -- like compassion and kindness. I pray that you find the strength to know your true worth and find what makes you happy.

Good Father, great spirit, giver of all life, i ask a prayer of good hope and faith for Kim. She has quit smoking, a very hard habit to break; i ask for your blessing on her so that she will know that she is worth so much more than the worry of the weight she has gained...i, myself have gained weight too, so i understand the frustration...please give her strength beyond what she can even imagine to rise above the cruel comments and to achieve her personal goals...i ask in Jesus name, Amen.

Hi Kim, My name is Nellie. I know how you feel about your weight. When I met my husband I was 120 pds. Im 182 pds now. Thank God my husband still loves me but for awhile I thought that he didnt love me anymore because of my wieght. We did so much more together, when I was thin. He really didnt look at me the same way. I didnt have much confidence in myself. I couldnt even look into amirror without shaking my head in disgust. Guess what I did. I turned to God. I asked him to help my husband find the love, I felt he had lost for me. Guess what? Im still 182, and I think my husband loves me more now than ever before. I asked for confidence and to be able to love myself the way I use to. Well I know that I need to lose wieght but I also know that I love myself. Im sure your husband still loves you. He wouldnt have married you if he didnt love you. What you need to do Is help him bring out that love. Its in there. Do things to make him want you. Just because your 180 doesnt mean your unattractive, doesnt mean your not sexy. Im 44 years old and I know that Im very attractive and sexy. Anyway Kim, Im praying for you and your husband. Trust me I know exactly how you feel. Im going to ask God to give to you and your husband what he gave to me and mine, Love and happiness. God Bless you Kim, and dont give up hope. God is listening.
Nellie

Dear Father God, I lift up Kim to you, I ask that you would put your loving arms around her, hold her when her earthly husband won't, please let her know God that you are her first love and what you say matters only, I know her pain Father, I pray for her weight loss, for her health. I pray for her husband, that his eyes would be open to see Kim as a child of God, Beauitful, as only you, God, can make us.I pray in your sons name, Jesus Christ, Amen..

Dear Kim -
I pray for strength for you, and for the Lord to open your husbands eyes and soften his heart.
And yes, Love Yourself. You are precious in His sight.
I also recommend to rent the movie "Shallow Hal" and watch it with your husband. Its inspirational, funny and an eye opener. It may help to get a message through to him.

I pray as I light this candle for you that you will obtain the strength that you need to find a way to regain your self esteem, and to lose weight for "Yourself" so that you will be happier and healthier. I too have experienced the pain of being overweight in the past ~ A very deep pain ~ I know, and remember, it well. I also hope that your husband will see the "Light" before it is too late. Unfortunately, too often marriages are damaged by the other party not making an effort. That I have experienced as well. If you read this, and see it in your heart, please remember me in your prayers as well as I am going through a very difficult time myself for other reasons. If not, I still ask that your prayers may be answered very soon. God bless you, and help you. Amen.

Kim, this may not be easy for you to hear, but if your husband is so superficial as to feel that way about you and tell you such a heartbreaking thing, perhaps he is not worthy of you after all. You may be better off with a man who loves you for you, not just what you look like. Blessed Be, Kim.

Dear Lord, give Kim the inner strength to hold on to the love in her life, also let him see the inner beauty that doesn't change..Show them the gift of each other that is more precious than gold. In Jesus's name, Amen.

In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, please let Kim know in her heart that she is very, truly loved by her creator. And abundant thanks for giving Kim the grace to quit smoking. I ask, in Jesus name, to heal her husband and give him the compassion and grace to be a supportive life partner. Let him know, Lord how his selfishness has hurt his wife and that he needs to ask for forgiveness and pray for God's grace in both their lives. I love you Kim and my heart and prayers go to our Lord for you

Father I pray that her husband will come to realize that beauty comes from what is inside and not the outward apparence,and that he can look beyond the outside and see the beauty that is on the inside.i pray for her to find the strength from you that she needs to also see her own inner beauty,which only comes with having a deep and personal relationship with you,bless this family Lord,and bring peace and unity back into their marriage

Kim, trust the Lord. The Lord "makes NO junk!!!" Do not insult yourself, for then you insult your creator. I pray you are well today and working from the inside out. God loves you... and we all do too.

Dear Kim, I understand just how hard it is to stop smoking and I also understand what you are going threw with your husband. I also have simular problems with smoking and my husband. We are only human, but we are a child of Our Heavenly Father. No matter what we go threw Jesus understands. Give it all to him and leave it with him. Jesus sees your heart, be faithful to him and he will be faithful to you. Dear Father in Heaven I pray for Kim. I pray Lord Jesus that you help Kim threw this trying time she is going threw with her husband. I pray Father that you give Kim the strength she needs to get threw this and at the same time I pray for her husband. I pray Father that you open Kim's husbands eyes and heart that he will see what an amazing this Kim has done by stop smoking and how hard it is to do such a think that has a hold on us. Father I pray that her husband will open his heart and look at Kim in a whole new way and I also pray Holy Spirit that you speak to this husbands heart and let him see the truth in you. Rekindle this marrage and make it the way it should be accourding to your will. I thank you Father God and I pray for all these things in Jesus' prsious holy name, Amen

In life God only wants the best for us. I know that your husband has hurt you and let you down. God sees you as the beautiful creature he has created. Yes, excess weight is not good for you, but a downright, unsupportive, callous, uncaring husband is not. A man should love you no matter what. It sounds to me, that while you love him, you deserve better. You cannot look to him for your self-worth, only you can look to yourself. You need to love yourself. You are beautiful. The average woman is 5'4 and wears a size 12 or 14. One of the things that is helping me is realizing that I am not meant to fit into anyone's fantasy. What matters is that I am fit and feel good about myself. Do activities you like. When your husband says dispariging comments, take a brisk walk. Think of exercise as spending time with yourself and giving yourself the love that you need. Kudos on giving up smoking. Let me tell you, grapes are an excellent snack food. The next time your husband says something mean, say, "I may not look the way you want me to look but I am here and I think I look good. You took marriage vows for better or worse, sickness and in health. It wouldn't hurt if you worked off your pounds too. Or be honest, say, that comment really hurts and I don't deserve to be talked to and disrepected like you are disrespecting me. The following is my prayer for you.

Dear Lord,
I ask that you heal this woman's pain. Give her peace Lord. work on her husband's heart. Lord bless her with a thick skin. I ask that you give her strength, courage and peace. God help this woman realize that you have created her in your own image. If it is your will keep this marriage together. If it is not, bless Kim with the ability to pick up the pieces and move on to someone that will treat her like the queen she is. Bless Kim to realize how important and valued she is by friends and family despite what her husband sees and how he feels. Lord I thank you for delivering her Lord and healing her pain. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Kim~
I pray for you daily! I lift you up in God's name. Protect you from any word's that are not of him. Give you the love,strenth and understanding that you need Kim at this time in your life. You are a wonderful person. You have beauty all over you inside and out. I love you. God please remove any negative thoughts from Kim's mind. Lord Jesus be with her daily and give her encouragment. I ask you Lord to remove these words from her husbands mouth that arn't of you! I rebuke satin and send him to you Lord Jesus our father! Lay your hands on Kim. Lay your hands on her day and night. Keep her strong Lord. Keep her from smoking. Bless her Jesus for not smoking. We praise you that she stopped. Thank you Jesus....thank you. Bless you Kim always. Joanna_b

Kim, my only advise is that you realize that your marriage should not be for looks. if he doesn't find you attractive anymore, maybe you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. raise him to your level. it's much easier on both of you.

Dear Lord God give Kim the strength to overcome her problems of self worth. Dear Lord please remind her that she is perfect and whole as she was born. Dear Lord please remind her that You love her and that You live in her.

Jesus loves you and your spouse. He wants to both to draw closer to Him. I pray that you both will go to Rejoice Ministries.com and will learn from their messages and God's word. He has helped me tremendously through this site. God bless you both.

Just believe in yourself that your husband always loves you and cares for you, no matter what happens. Always trust his love fo you and your love with him. Coz' u know right know am experiencing the same like yours. But instead of thinking that, i just pray and pray and ask for his love and guidance for me. Our dear Lord never left you and your family....Just always thinnk that yoour husband always love you forever....
